If the PS4 continues like this, it will outsell the original PS1 by a mile. The original PS1 was discontinued in March 2006 and was widely released worldwide in by 1995(Japan got it in 1994) giving it an insane 11 years(132 months) on the market to reach 102 million units.
The PS4 has sold roughly 1/5th(20 million) of that amount in just 16 months
20 million X 8.25(132 months divided by 16) =
165 million
Now I'm not saying the PS4 will reach 165 million given the change in the marketplace and it probably not having an 11 year cycle but it will EASILY destroy the PS1 lifetime sales.
